Or a lot of people who have a much better understanding of economics than you.

See Ontario, 2010. And no, the national igloo did not melt.

Hm, maybe it's because womens' bodies are implicitly part of the objects in the ad being sold. Maybe we get slightly even more pissed about being considered objects when we're seen as cheap objects. Either way it sucks. That evo psych explanation is grade a bullshit.

The use of sexual imagery is inimical to women's vested interest in sex being portrayed as infrequent, special, and rare.

Alternative theory: ads for cheap stuff that use sex are never targeted at women.

"Sexual economics theory offers a reason why: The use of sexual imagery is inimical to women's vested interest in sex being portrayed as infrequent, special, and rare."

"Suggesting that women shouldn't get hammered is not blaming the victim"

And with that, many an Internet commenter will be forced to eat his or her words. Not that they will learn anything from it or change their behavior. I was just bemoaning the insistence...almost to the point of compulsion...of people to shit all over victims before all information becomes available. It's not as big of…

I've been rejected by every man I've tried to date. And many of those rejections have been mean. But I don't hate men as a group either. Hm.

I'm guessing he's interpreting "patriarchy hurts men too" as "men deserve to die raaaarrrgh!" Because what I *have* seen pointed out to men raging about women not being drafted/in combat is that it's not WOMEN who had control of the armed forces and the government...it was men who held the power in those situations…

All these cultural messages say that the hero gets the girl. And of course, everyone is the hero of their own story!

It's probably the result of a long cultural history of women being objectified and presented as prizes or goals to men, and the cultural residue of woman-as-property. There are a ton of articles about how various types of media portray women as rewards men are supposed to get just for waking up every day, so when…

They genuinely believe they are entitled to you - to fuck you, to fuck with you, to possess you. Not operating by their rules is an affront to them.

I really, truly don't understand it. I've been rejected a bazillion times in my life (and I was always a person to put myself out there. I've never bought that "man makes the first move" BS). Life goes on. If getting rejected never gets any easier after thirty women, you maybe have some serious emotional problems that…

What is it with men and whining about rejection? Do they honestly feel they are entitled to fuck anyone they want to? I've been rejected by plenty of men, you know who I don't hate as a group? MEN.

Yes, because it's not like brain function is shaped and influenced by environment! Let's continue to perpetuate dangerous gender-essentialist bullshit! Did you that young boys typically prefer toy trucks to toy dolls?! Proof: boys will be boys! Science!

"These results do not mean what you think they mean" - every scientist who reads this

In my opinion, yes. We can have a long and civil discussion about this, but I won't change my mind.

I see the point you're trying to make and it's a great one. However, the guy in this article is an ass, in my opinion (emphasis on "my opinion"). I don't care if he's trolling or if he's absolutely serious. What he's doing is bothering these ladies. This is racism! This man is on OKC saying horrible things to these…

No. This guy is for real. He sent almost the exact same message - in sincerity - to a friend of mine. If he's trolling, he's being racist while trolling so he's still being racist.
